Craig Lindsey, staff writer for The News & Observer in Raleigh, North Carolina, hit me up last week to pick my brain on Kanye West’s Glow In The Dark Tour with Lupe Fiasco and N.E.R.D. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen the show. Ironically enough, the night Craig interviewed me, they were playing here in Miami!
At any rate, I was able to offer up my opinion on the artists themselves and Craig actually put together a pretty tight article. We talked mainly about Lupe and N.E.R.D. Craig brought up the infamous “Fiascogate” and we discussed N.E.R.D. and their upcoming album.
Anyone here seen the show?
For those of you interested, here’s the full article.

I was at the show last night now in Bristow VA (Nissan Pavilion). I’m a big fan of N.e.r.d., Lupe and Kanye. Sadly I was on the lawn far far away so I really couldn’t see nothing except for what was on the big screens. From What I could see Lupe was just on stage rapping. That was it. Lupe and Nerd both were on for only 30 minutes. N.e.r.d. sounded good but I didn’t see the actual performance. It was still daylight so you couldn’t see what was on the screens. Kanye put on a great show. he was energitic and it was obvious he was into it. He has a big production and a storyline that he puts together by sequencing his songs in a certain order. It has a lot of effects (video, pyro, smoke) and he had a band playing for him. It was mos def a good concert although I am kind of disappointed that NERD and Lupe weren’t on that long. In fact N.e.r.d. didn’t even say peace. They just stopped playing and left without saying nuthin. hmmm.
yo, thanks for sharing Mike! Man, that’s disappointing that Lupe & N.E.R.D. didn’t get much shine… good to know though.
Nice article and sound words Kev, I agree with you. Look forward to seeing you pop up on MTV soon when they switch to a hip hop critic for expert opinion lol.
